Would Recommend

A quick overnight stay. The room was lovely and very clean. Couldnt ask for more really. I would recommend.
The beds are very hard though. Read more

Response

Some like soft beds, others something firmer. I am sorry that the reviewer did not find their's comfortable, but since others have commented favourably about the same bed, I shall moniter the situation for now and ask for feed back from future guests.

Likes?
Everything was provided didn't need to worry about anything.
Dislikes?
I did not like the beds. I have never slept on a bed that was so hard. Even when you moved the bed had no bounce. And a B&B in my view should at least have a comfortable bed.

My mum, 12yr old son & myself stayed in the pheonix 17th/18th August, im ashamed to say we was very apprehensive about arriving at our guest house for the weekend because of the price being low we didnt know what to expect, but we were pleasantly suprised, it was very comfortable, clean, the room was lovely & bright. The landlady was very accomodating & friendly. There was more than enough to choose from for breakfast & was delicious. We enjoyed our stay & would highly recommend it. Read more

Really really good

Response

Of course with this hot weather we are all sleeping with our windows open. Seagulls are all part of the seaside holiday experience, and at present they are particularly noisy while their youngsters are starting to fly from the nest. One came down in the back yard, and we put it on the flat roof to encourage it to fly away. There was much trepidation as we and some of our guests watched it survive attacks from rival gulls and the a cat!!! creeping up on it.

Adequate for what was needed

Would Recommend

Old- fashioned style decor with a tiny 'bathroom'. However, the beds were comfy and it was literally only a few minutes walking distance away from the Open-Air Theatre which was the reason for my visit. Short walk to North Bay Beach. Read more

Likes?
The location is excellent for North Bay Beach
Dislikes?
The bathroom only consisted of a shower and toilet which was very cramped. Noisy road early in the morning if facing onto the road.

GemmaFamily with young childrenStayed: May 13

We would stay there again

Would Recommend

The phoenix is a nice b&b in a good location close to the north beach which is the quieter not so touristy part of Scarborough and a 5min drive to south beach. Local amenities on the door step including fish and chips :) Family room was quite big and very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very nice but I was charged quite a bit for my 3 year old son and he only ate cereal (very steep!) but the adult breakfast definitely good value. Overall its a nice clean friendly place in a good location. Read more

Response

We charge a flat rate of £3 per child per breakfast, regardless of how much they eat, and some can eat as much as an adult. The adult rate is just £5. When you consider that you get a pot of tea or fresh ground coffee, cereals, fresh fruit, yoghurts, then a choice of either a full cooked breakfast, or a substantial continental breakfast, I think that is very good value, and if you do not eat much at breakfast time, you always have the option of staying room only.

Likes?
Clean comfortable room. Jenny and staff were friendly and accommodating. Good location. Nice breakfast. Free parking outside the b&b with a permit given from the staff.
Dislikes?
Charged a lot for child breakfast even though my 3year old only ate cereal. i paid quite a lot for the room a bit on the steep side but it was bank holiday.

deborahFamily with young childrenStayed: May 13

perfect in everyway !

Response

We do a good cooked breakfast, continental and vegetarian options are available, and there are cereals, fresh fruit etc.to help yourself to on the sideboard. However, not everyone wants to tuck in at breakfast time.I always ask when people arrive and haven't booked a breakfast if they want one, that is so I know what numbers I am catering for in the morning, If the sun was shining, I would go with the lady who wanted her coffee and croissant while watching the waves lapping the shore.

Likes?
the fact that breakfast was opptional.
Dislikes?
no.

Small rooms

Adequate for a 2 night stay but due to size of rooms difficult to put case anywhere other than under bed. Would not like to stay for a week in these cramped conditions. Read more

Response

Some of our rooms are not large, but they have all passed inspection by the AA when we got our 3 star rating. The lady who did the inspection stayed in the room that the reviewer had. I had no idea who she was at the time and I can tell you that she did a thorough job, pulling out the bed to inspect behind, and she viewed all the room before she left!

Clean and comfortable

Would Recommend

A rather small and dated bedroom with small en suite. Sink in the bedroom. Breakfast was adequate (sausages very good). Read more

Response

Anyone who watches Strictly will know that there is always one judge it is very hard to get good marks from.They found us clean and comfortable, but the room 'dated'. The Phoenix is over 100years old and although I am steadily updating equipment, bedding etc., I do not want to impose a modern style of decor that would be out of keeping. The room is next on the list for a new flatscreen TV with DVD. 'Small ensuite' fair comment but the shower is hot and works. Please note our other reviews.

Pleasant stay. Rooms are small but adequate and very good value for money. Useful to have the family room with side room for our daughter. Read more

Response

We have two family rooms. Room 3 is the larger of the two, but when the reviewer booked this had already been taken so I am pleased to hear that they were satisfied with their stay in room 7. Both rooms have ensuite shower and toilet and a side room attached which gives an extra degree of privacy especialy useful with older children, or indeed groups of adults willing to share.

Great value for money, friendly staff & great location

Would Recommend

Me and my partner stayed for 2 nights, it was a very friendly stay, the staff were helpful. We went for the nightlife and the guesthouse is 20 minute walk or 10 minute taxi ride. The arcades are also a shirt distance, a nice walk to fill a little time. We didn't have any food in the hotel so I can't comment on it but it did smell lovely. All in all a great value for money.

I like the location, the staff and how homely the guesthouse was. We went for new year and the location was great for nightlife. Hotel was quiet and cleaned regularly.
Dislikes?
The only problem we had with the stay was the bathroom, we were in room one and the bathroom was quite small but was comfortable, our friends stayed in room 2 and their bathroom really was small.

smashing stay at the Pheonix Guest House

Would Recommend

we stayed for 2 nights was made very welcome and nothing too much trouble for them , was clean and tea and coffee when you wanted it , they even looked after our luggage on our last day as train wasnt till evening Read more

Response

Beakers? Please, just ask us! We keep a supply of mugs in the kitchen for just this reason, but when new guests first arrive, out of politeness we put out the cups until they express a preference.Room 7, in which the reviewer stayed, is up 2 flights of stairs, and probably better suited to a younger family, room 3 would have been a better choice for them had it been free. However I am very glad this did not spoil their stay, and I hope that next time I remember the beakers.

Likes?
the breakfast was amazing everthing piping hot, and set us up for the day , whatever you wanted you could have , very accomodating

the only thing for us , ( and this is a personal thing) the cups in the room was too small we would have preferred beakers ,

The Phoenix was located very close to Peasholm Park and with easy access to the North Shore and local shops which made it very convenient for us (a couple holidaying with my family on a short trip). The rooms and facilities were very clean and tidy and the staff were very helpful about the facilities upon arrival and the parking facilities, which made our trip a lot easier! The breakfast was great (it had vegetarian options!) & the food items were fresh. Read more

Response

We are a small establishment and have not the space to provide all the facilities of an expensive hotel, but we do our best with what we have, and hope that our friendliness and attention to the small things that make a holiday run smoothly makes up for this. My thanks to the reviewer, I am very glad that she enjoyed her stay.

Description

The Phoenix is very conveniently located, just 2 minutes stroll from beautiful Peasholm park, 6 minutes from the magnificent sweep of north bay's sands. Scarborough cricket ground, the open air theatre, Scarborough bowls centre, the sea life centre, and Hollywood plaza cinema are just some of the attractions close by.
We offer very good value with prices from £20 per person per night for en-suite accommodation and scrumptious breakfasts for £6 per adult and £4 per child, which will set you up for the day. Cleanliness is assured throughout and we trust that you will find us friendly and helpful, our aim is to provide for you a comfortable and enjoyable place to stay.

Access to the Guest House from the pavement is by two wide 6 inch steps onto a small patio, then a further two wide 4 inch steps into the hallway. The Dining Room is on your immediate right via a 30 inch wide doorway.
Access to the first floor is by a 16 step stairway with 10 inch treads and 7 inch risers, with a handrail on the left hand side. The landing is 33 inches wide with a handrail on the right hand side, giving access to bedrooms 2 (double) and bedroom 3&4 (double/family room). A further staircase of 12 steps with 9 inch treads and 7 inch risers with a handrail on the right hand side takes you to the second floor, where a further 3 identical steps give access to bedroom 5 (double), or to your right, 3 identical steps with a hand rail on the right hand side, give access to bedroom 6 (double) and bedroom 7&8 (double/family room).
All bedroom doors are 30in wide & bathroom doors are 20in wide. We are sorry but there are no ground floor bedrooms or toilet facilities.
